The Golden State Warriors hung on to defeat the Dallas Mavericks 109-100 on Sunday night.
The Warriors are now one win away from the NBA Finals.
Stephen Curry led the way with with 31 points, made five 3-pointers and dished out 11 assists while grabbing five rebounds. Andrew Wiggins scored 10 of his playoff career-high 27 points in the final quarter and finished with 11 rebounds. He dunked over Luka Dončić, sending the 23-year-old to the ground, and the offensive-foul call was overturned.
Dallas will host a critical Game 4 on Tuesday night. If the Warriors sweep the series, it’ll be their sixth trip to the NBA finals in eight years.
